Well that's optimisticI don´t like football so early, at 16:00. I like to go to the bar with friends and at that time people are sleeping or after lunch, zero football atmosphere. Anyway will be interesting, the first real test for Zidane, I wonder if he will bring some tactical solution against Simeone.
In second división there is a nice game Sunday morning, Leganés-Alavés. This season my favorite teams to come to Primera are Oviedo and Alavés. I have a good friend, fan of Oviedo and Farça and this year is more interested in Oviedo rather than first division. It´s a historical club that has had many problems lately although in the 90´s had a decent team, even with Prosinecki. Leganés and Alcorcón are other Getafes in my opinion, cities located near Madrid where most of the population supports Madrid or Atleti. Leganés biggest rival is Getafe, the cities are very very close. I think that Alcorcón has a bigger fan base. It´s a team that got their peak thanks to Copa del Rey, something like Numancia or Mirandés. On the other hand is a pity to see Zaragoza without options and Almería near 2B.
On sunday I will probably go to Riazor , is the "día del socio" so my friend gets 3 tickets for 15 euros. If you want to find me in the stands, I am the handsome guy in the stand opposite to Riazor Blues .
Zidane is "lucky" to lose Marcelo and Bale for this match, with that and Madrid fans almost giving up the league title he can get away with almost anything against Atletico, only a 0-4 or something like that would haunt him the rest of the year. Isco, James and Modric will play and Kroos is like 90% of making into the first team too, Benzema/Ronaldo up front, Pepe, Ramos, Carvajal at the back, it's just a matter of who will play as the LB, right?.
Also, what are your thoughts at what's happening with RM Castilla? Ramis took the lead and it's in a 7 win streak since he replaced Zidane, it would bother me that Ramis is doing a much better job than ZZ with the same players. And it's bothering me big time that this happens this year when my Racing de Ferrol could end up playing the promotion against Castilla while they're in a rampage
Regarding Barça, I'm not happy to play against Sevilla in such a clutch fixture, Barcelona could easily close the title this week if we were against other team, Sevilla has a poor record away this season but they always manage to complicate our life in the Camp Nou. Whoever wins the derbi would still have chances if Emery manage to snatch points, and if Madrid/Atletico win against their rival the same journey they cut Barcelona's lead the boost in morale could be hughe
